Hi, first of all let me thank you for the LyX project. I like how it enables
even people with minimal TeX experience to typeset clean and nice documents. 

I have a feature request: please, can you add the automatic replacement function
to the editor? Ideally, each replacement rule should be enabled depending on the
environment and language, but a simple, unconditional replacement would now
suffice, too.

Motivation: In many slavic languages, there are some prepositions that shall be
connected to the following word with an unbreakable space. The localized OO
Writer or MS Word replace the space automatically, whereas when writing the
TeX source, this substitution may be performed by a macro or a third-party
filter before compilation (such as the "vlna" program). I am missing such
replacement in LyX: when a former Word-user begins with LyX, it is hard to learn
pressing ctrl-space when appropriate.

Thanks in advance,
Filip Dominec
